Hardened Clay

Obtaining

Hardened clay can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will be destroyed.

Hardened clay has the same explosion resistance as most other stone blocks, which is significantly higher than a regular block of clay before being smelted. A block of hardened clay when one meter away from an explosion will protect any blocks behind it, though it will be destroyed in the process.
